Amazon’s built-in price tracking feature now displays a product’s price changes over the past year. The “Price history” button, available in the Amazon app next to an item’s price, shows pricing across 30, 90, and now 365 days. Users can also access it by asking the AI assistant Rufus.
The tool rolled out initially in 2024 but previously covered only 30 and 90 days. It is now available in the US, UK, and India.
This expansion arrives weeks ahead of Amazon’s annual Prime Day event. California Attorney General Bonta mentioned Prime Day in his “price fixing” lawsuit against Amazon, accusing the company of pushing other retailers to raise product prices and bullying vendors to hike prices elsewhere or remove products.
Third-party tools like CamelCamelCamel and Keepa also track Amazon product prices.
